Happy 1st Birthday, Holland!




Height, Weight, Length: tbd- i've got to check the sheet from the doctor

Sizes: Clothes 12 mths and 18 mths, size 3 diapers

Favorite foods: breast milk, chicken, pasta, cookies, baby food, water (especially from Mom's cup)

Favorite book: That's not my angel

Favorite song: Twinkle, twinkle

What she's doing: giving big, open mouth kisses, sweet hugs, eskimo kisses, blows kisses, claps hands, wags her pointer finger (like no, no), walking, dancing

She still thinks it's hilarious to say Dada any time we ask her to say Mama.  I'm going to work on a video compilation. She likes to "sing" in the microphone.  She loves bath time and her ducks.  She loves to empty out anything- cabinet, drawer, basket, etc. She likes to hand things back and forth and say her version of "thank you" each time. If you don't give her what she wants, she'll lay her head on the floor and cry the fakest/most pitiful cry until she realizes you aren't going to give in. She wakes several times a night, but sleeps late in the mornings if she's able.

She gets so excited to see any of us when we get home or pick her up from school, but she is also always happy to see Miss Daisy when we drop her at daycare.  She just hugs her and smiles at her.  So thankful she's happy there.

We had a celebration at home with family and a few friends.  It was somewhat thrown together as most things are in my life these days, but we had a great time anyway.  Holland's cupcakes were so pretty, but as usual, she did not care to have cake.  She must get that from her cousin, Julia.






Sullivan encouraging the proper response to cake.
